The life of beloved preschool teacher Effie Roseborough was celebrated yesterday, as hundreds gathered for a funeral filled with tears for the Queens woman brutally killed, allegedly by her own nephew.

Mourners in black recited their praise for the 57-year-old woman affectionately known to everyone as “Mrs. Rose.”

“I know my mother touched the lives of lots of young children and the parents themselves,” said Sherry Purdie, Roseborough’s only child.

“I know my mother would love this service.”

Mourner Veronal Alley said, “She was a good person, a good person.

“You don’t work with kids without being a dedicated person.”

Roseborough was shot in the Tot’s Learning World School in South Jamaica on Dec. 3 and was dragged to her upstairs apartment, where she died.

Her nephew, Raymond Smith, 32, gave up to police after leading them on a high-speed car-chase on the Grand Central Parkway.
